I made this with a sugar substitute(Nature's Sweet) and it was wonderful! Many of my friends and family couldn't believe that it was sugar-free.

I chilled dough for 12 hours, followed recipe to a "T", yet it was sticky and difficult to roll. I added flour, and the end result was a hard not very tasty cookie.

Ditto the previous rater, not as flavorful as I expected, but still very edible.

Good, not great. They were the last cookies to go Christmas '06. Tip: make dough fairly thick (1/4")otherwise, they get to crisp.

I tried 4 different cut out cookie recipes this year and this one was the best by far. They have a great sweet flavor without being too sweet. The dough is very easy to work with and they held their shape perfectly after being baked. I rolled them 1/4 in. thick and baked them at 375 degrees for 7-8 min. so they were very soft and moist. It will be the only cut out recipe I will be using from now on.

Wow! These cookies worked perfectly to make Christams cut-out cookies! I refrigerated the dough overnight, which made rolling it out super easy. I was able to make about 4 cookie sheets-worth of cookies from just one batch. They are not too sweet, so icing will not overpower them. Also, the cookies did not spread too much in the oven (8 minutes was the perfect cooking time) and they also stayed pretty thick, just be sure to let the cookies set on the sheets for a few minutes before you take them off. I'll be using this recipe from now on! Thanks!!

This is the worst dough I have ever had the misfortune to work with. Very Sticky. I would never make these again. If I were you I wouldn't waste my time with these cookies.

These are the most delicious cookies I've ever baked. They taste even more delicious after drizzling some semi-sweet chocolate over the cookies. The dough was quite sticky but I found after refrigerating it for almost 2 hours, and ofcourse using flour to roll the dough, they turned out wonderful :D

I can only give this recipe 3 stars based on what I've done so far. The dough tastes wonderful but the dough was extremely sticky. I had to use a TON of flour, and had to brush it off before baking. I still have some dough left and based on the reviews that I have re-read, I'll let it refrigerate overnight. I also didn't yield 48 cookies. My cut outs are about 3 inches and I only got about 10-12 if you count the strange looking pieces. So go small or double up on the recipe. I just got them out of the oven and they cook quickly. I am going to give the recipe one more try.

Dough was very sticky but we managed, we made Santa faces and Christmas trees. I thought the cookies were rather flavorless but my 7yo loved them and ate almost all...with cookie crumbs hanging off his mouth, he yelled '5 stars!' so I guess 5 stars it is....
